... in SOS. I tend to put more stock in them than I do any other mag outside of TapeOp. Its a glowing review. Anyone here had any experience with it? I'm not in the market now but when it comes on the used market I might consider it as a replacement for one of my lesser synths.

Seems pretty good value for money.

I've heard positive things about the Ion. Reasonably priced, no?

About $800 US, no?

My lowly local music store has yet to get any in. But most of the people who have tried it are quite impressed. I'm interested in getting the chance to play with one.

someone I know bought one. Aside from looking a bit 1960s scifi...the sound really is there.

sounds more analog ...you know? not too incredibly aggressive per se, but it has that...feel to it.

dunno. I kinda liked it. but i like keyboards with knobs. most of them at least

Ive already seen a couple used for $600 believe it or not. odd

cool. i thought the review was very interesting too, the possibility to model moog/obie/arp/roland filters and such.

I tried one recently and I thought it was o.k.
Sound was good but the interface could have been better. Too many hidden options, i hate that.
I like knobs that i can tweak without scrolling through interfaces. If you dont mind interfaces that are very layered, then i guess it would be for you.

well basically all VAs have multiple menus, no? I mean...theyre far more complex than the old analogs for the most part

sure loved that AX60 I had..just grab somethin, tweak it, and youre done!

I remember lusting after the AX80. Those cool bar graphs did it for me.

defeats the purpose tho. menus again!

60 had ZERO menus. what you saw was what you got
